Failure Analysis, Materials Consultancy and Materials Testing Service

Bodycote Materials Testing is one of the largest independent providers of materials testing services in the world and operates a chain of laboratories strategically situated throughout the U.K., Europe, Scandinavia, Canada, the U.S.A. and the Middle East. Our fully equipped laboratories can offer a team of materials engineers, metallurgists and technicians for materials consultancy or failure investigation. The unrivalled range of mobile chemical analysis, testing and inspection equipment enables extensive investigative work to be undertaken in-situ.

The Service

Our failure analysis and materials consultancy service can determine, for the majority of cases, the cause of failure. In our experience, the following categories cover the major contributing factors of failure:

  • Abuse of components/machinery, e.g. exceeding design loads;
  • Inappropriate material selection;
  • Use of rogue/defective material;
  • Poor design;
  • Service environment.

As you can see from the above list, a categorisation of failure mode can help identify probable cause.

If you consider that our consultancy service could be of use in solving your materials problems, we would be pleased to initially assess the failure, free of charge, and advise accordingly on an appropriate framework and costs for the investigation.
